LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 9, 1836. The House of Commons went last night into Com mittee on the Bill for the better regulation of the Established Church. Lord JOHN RUSSELL, who moved the committal of the Bill, went into consider able detail, for the purpose of showing the extent of the reforms which the measure will effect. We very cordially agree with the Noble Lord in two things ; first, that the alterations proposed to be made will be a great improvement on the system as it now exists; and secondly, that these alterations can be viewed only as temporary expedients —or, to use a common 'but expressive phrase, as an instalment of that full measure of Church Reform which the people of England have long looked for, and without which they will not long be satisfied. In this sense we receive the present god-send, and trust that, scanty as it is, it will have the effect of whetting the public appetite for something more satisfactory. It is no small matter, in our opinion, to have made a move in the path of Church Reform, barricaded as that path has hitherto been by a host of powerful enemies, who looked upon the smallest change as sacrilege, and the sure fore-runner of the downfall of the Church. Hav ing once begun the good. work—having once got the point of the wedge in —and that, too, with the con currence, nay, at the recommendation of the hie rarchy, we have no doubt that, with the bles sing of God, and our own exertions—for we must never expect that miracles will be wrought for us while we fold our arms in sloth—we shall by and by im enabled to complete that which is now imper fect, and to place our religious concerns on a footin g more consistent with common sense, and the rights of conscience. • The reduction of the Bishops' stipends is good as far as it goes ; but will it be contended that that is an equitable, or can be a permanent settlement of the ecclesiastical Establishment, which assigns to one mi nister 15,0004 a-year, while there are ethers, multitudes of others, who have not so =ell as one-hundred-and fiftieth part of that sum ? It is absurd to talk about the expense to . ‘vhich a Bishop is exposed in keeping up his rank ftud station. This extravagance is founded upoix an cutirely erroneous idea of what constitutes the rani ; and station of a minister of the Gospel. He °right not to be distinguished by the splendour of iwealth but of virtue. He is not called upon by his Divine Master to run a race of worldly rivalry INith the great ones of the earth, but to deny all7Lngoalitiess and w or ldl y l usts , an d to set an ex.:„nple .of humility, of spiritual-mindedness, of, that crucifixion of the Mesh and all its lorqt,gs, which is necessary to prove that he is embi.:,,d- with the spirit of his sacred calling, and to give nitn authority in reproving the vices of other men. The Rev. Mr. M , GHEE, who, as our readers may perhaps remember, played the part of print° buffo at All the mountebank - exhibitions at Exeter Hall last ►ear, has again entered upon the stage, jingling his cap and bells with more self - complacency than ever. Not content with summoning a Meeting of the Pro testant Association for next Thursday, the man has actually bad the assurance to invite Mr. O'CONNELL to attend—just as if the Hon. and Learned Member for Dublin had nothing better to do, than to listen to the drowsy twaddle of the most leaden-headed fanatic of the day Really this is one of the coolest pieces of effrontery we have ever heard of. Whi.t claim haS - this Exeter Hall agitator on the . patience of Mr. O'CONNELL ?-or what deadly sin has the latter gen tleman committed that it should be seriously propo . sed to him to undergo the Martyrdom of 'a three hours' speech ? As a matter of course, the Member for Kil kenny declines Mr. APGHEE'S invitation with a shudder, observing, " the whole affair is one of those miserable managements which cannot be described by any English word with accuracy. It is only in French that you can find their right name. They are called niaiseries,' and as such I treat them. I cannot con clude without, in sober sadness, expressing my most unfeigned regret that the very name of religion should be tarnished by these theatrical buffooneries. I can not possibly lend them any countenance, either directly or indirectly. Religion is, indeed, too a.vful a thing to be made the subject of mountebank exhibitions. • It is by far of too tremendous an importance to be approached in any other spirit than that of humility, surrounded by the purest charity. The spirit of charitable humility is that in which religious controversy should be proposed and carried on." We trust Mr. M‘GHEE will lay these sentiments to heart, and make them his rule of action when he next holds forth at Exeter-Hall. They are better worth attending to than a compliment from Lord RODEN. As for the Rev. Gentleman's attempt to get up another " PETER DENS' " clamour, we can assure him that the scheme will be a miserable failure. The public are sick of this sort of quackery. They are tired even of laughing at it. If, however, the ne cessities of his nature compel Mr. M'GHEE to,perse vere in thrusting himself before the public, and di viding its attention with the Giraffes, it is surely easy to devise some new scheme for " creating a sensation." Let him exhibit himself as the famous bottle-conjuror, and "we will answer for it he will gain an audience twice as numerous as he is ever likely to gain in his Capacity of an intolerant Churchman. The whole of the Paris Journals of Thursday have been received. All that is of any interest in them will be found in the annexed extracts : PARIS, JULY 6.-- We hear a great deal in the foreign poli tical circles of a project which the King of Sweden is said to entertain to have his son Oscar crowned during his own reign. This precaution is said to have appeared necessary to King Charles John, on account of Norway especially, which country is but lately united to Sweden, and which is a source of con tinual difficulties to the Swedish Government. Prince Oscar is, besides, more popular in Norway than his father. The connection between Sweden and Russtin has become much less intimate since the death of the Emperor Alexander. The Swedish Cabinet approximates more and more to that of England. The voyage which Count Wellestedt, the Swedish Minister for Foreign Affairs, is going to make to London, notwithstanding his ill health, has evidently a political object, which is affirmed to be the conclusion of a treaty of offensive and defensive alliance between Great Britain and Sweden. King Charles John is supposed to be desirous of closing his long political career by this important object. PARIS, JULY 7.—Count Pozzo di Borgo receives and pays numerous visits. He pays his respects to the King daily, and his compliments to the Princes on their safe return from their tour. He has just purchased the hotel at the corner of the Faubourg St. Honore, 99, known by the name of the Hotel Roederer, where he resides, and it is supposed that be will succeed in realising his wish to end his days in France. A journal affirms that Baron Werther and M. Fabricius (the Prussian Ambassador and Dutch Charge d'Affaires) have delivered to the President of the Council a Memorandum of the Two Courts relative to the affairs of Holland and Bel gium. This step, which the President of the Council did not seem to expect, appears to have much embarrassed him. The matter, therefore, passed off quite diplomatically : the Memorandum was read officially, and this bei3g done, their Excellencies took leave of each other, reserving the dis cussion for that day seinnight.—/liessager, July 7.

Senor ANTONIO GONZALES, President of the Chamber of Spanish Procuradores during, the last Session, and Secretary of the Chamber during the administration of MA aTINEz DE LA ROSA and ToRENo, has addressed a long letter to the Times, complaining of the disgraceful conduct of the public censors in Madrid. The Press of Spain must be shackled indeed, when insertion was denied to the just complaint of the Ex-President of the Legislative Body. The substance of the injury sustained by 'him, and for which the redress of publicity is now refused through the ordinary channels, may be summed up in very few words :—lmmediately before the dis solution of the late Cortes, two Addresses from the National Guards and citizens of Barcelona, were forwarded to the Chamber, thanking the Procuradores for having ;voted on the 16th of May, that no taxes should be paid without a vote of the Cortes. These addresses were forwarded to the Censors for their consideration previous to publication ; but instead of approving or rejecting them as was their duty, these pliant tools of M. IsTußiz placed the documents in the hands of the Chief of the Police, who was in structed by the Government to endeavour to get up some criminal charge against the President, on the dissolution of the Chambers. An inquisitorial pro cess Was accordingly instituted. The Ex-President was dragged through the streets like a common felon by the police, and their Chief interrogated hitri on oath, touching the documents which were livid as proofs of a conspiracy against the Government. The trumpery accusation was too ridiculous' t(,), stand even this test. Senor GoNza..L Es was pronounced inno cent by a , incomp e t ent to try hi m ; b ut w h en he off.:;red to complain publicly of the insult and injus tice he had sustained, the columns of the Press were closed against him. GONZALES is a liberal, and an honest man ; but he refused to join the conspiracy against MENutzAB AL—and hence the efforts of Is- TURI2 to prevent his re-election, Ind, if possible, to drive him out of the colic! ttly. Sir William Wraxall, in his " Posthumous Memoir of his own Time," just published, has given to the world a mass of more curious anecdotes respectinc , the political rivalry of Pitt and Fox, and more striking sketches of their numerous satellites, Dundas, Jenkinson, Sheridan, Windham, &c., than can be obtained in any other record of the times; for Horace Walpole, whose mantle has descended on Wraxall, had then ceased to exist. In Sir William's pages the reader of the present day is transported to the House of Commons as it existed fifty years ago; and not only does he revel in the eloquence which then animated the Chapel of St. Stephen, but is made to partake in a knowledge of the secret motives influencing the measures of the day, YICE..REGA L VISIT TO THE SouTlL—Their Excellencies the Lord-Lieutenant and Countess of Mulgrave left the Vice-Regal Lodge on Sunday afternoon for Nor mandy Lodge, whence they proceeded yesterday to Ballygib bin, near Mallow, the seat of Sir W. Beecher. Their Ex cellencies intend to proceed on Wednesday to Prospect-hill, Killarney, the seat of the Hon. J. Brown, where they propose to spend a few days.

Thursday a lad, ;bout 18, foolishly attempted to climb to the top of Seafield tower, in the vicinity of Kirkaldy, in search of a bird's nest. When near the top, one of the stones by which he held gave way, and he immediately fell to the ground. When he saw his fall inevitable, he sprang a little outwards, to escape some stones which lay close to the building : and, though the height was about forty feet, when he came to the ground he did tiqt feel himself injured, but called out to his companions, " Isn't that a good jump ?" On attempting to walk, however, he found that one of his legs was broken, which underwent amputation the same evening ; he continues in rather a dangerous state.—Scotch Paper. On Sunday evening, as the .Sylph Woolwich steamer (which was crammed almost to suffocation) was land ing her passengers at Queenhithe, some evil-disposed person raised an alarm that the boilers were bursting. A general rush took place, several persons were much hurt, and one woman with a young child fell into the river, and was with the greatest difficulty rescued from a watery grave. Mr. Paterson, the Consul . General of the United States in Belgium, died on the 4th at Antwerp, after an illness in which he suffered extremely. Mr. Paterson was an Ame rican, but had resided for a great many years at Antwerp, where he had numerous friends. Mr. Wil'riam Henry Ord's name was, by mistake, placed on the majority on the Appropriation Clause, instead of Mr. William Ord's, Mr. W. H. Ord being absent from indis position. The Bishop of Salisbury, in consequence of the weakness of his sight, will not ordain any more himself. He will hold nominations of candidates, and send letters dimissory to such bishop's ordinations as may be most convenient in point of time and place.—British Magazine. Mr. Philip Stone, of Bagshot, a gentleman of considerable property, is negociating with the Committee of Drury-Lane Theatre, to become the Lessee for the ensuing season, and with every prospect of success, provided Mr. Bunn declines renewing his present lease. Sir John Lade, who some years ago was the first whip of the day, was yesterday among the few pedestrians in St. James's-street, and appeared in good health. Sir John is now in his 77th year, enjoys a rural life at Staines, and never mixes, as he did formerly, in the fashionable and giddy cir cles of the metropolis. ALARMING FDRE.—Thursday night, about half-past eleven o'clock, the inhabitants residing in Lambeth were thrown into a state of great alarm and excitement, in conse quence of a terrific body of flame bursting forth from the upper part of a house occupied by several families, No. 2, Amphitheatre-court, Stangate-street, Westminster-road. It was first discovered in the room occupied by a man of the name of Courtney, and spread with unbounded fury, and for some considerable period threatened destruction to the entire neigh bourhood. The premises are situated in the rear of Astley's amphitheatre, and fears were apprehended that that beautiful place of amusement would fall a prey to the devouring ele ment. Mr. Inspector Field, of the L division, and a strong body of the police, were quickly on the spot, and rendered the most essential services in preventing robberies. The engine from Waterloo-road (Edward -street), belonging to the Lon don Fire Establishment, was soon on the spot, and was quickly followed by the engines of the County and West of England, and, after great difficulty, the flames, by an excellent supply of water, were extinguished, but not before great damage was done and the building nearly destroyed. The fire was caused by a little girl leaving a lighted candle near some ignitable goods, which caught fire. Had the occurrence taken place at a later hour the consequences might have been very serious. The intended visit of the Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria to Scotland appears likely to 'turn the tide of summer tourists entirely to the north, and to render Edin burgh the centre of fashionable attraction during the ensuing months. EXTENSIVE FlRE.—Yesterdaymorning, about half past five o'clock, the neighbourhood of Poland -street, Golden square, Oxford-street, presented a scene of the utmost excite ment, in consequence of the discovery of an alarming fire, ex tending its ravages with the greatest rapidity in the workshops of Mr. Turrell, a cabinet-maker. An opposite neighbour, named Miller, a bookbinder, whose workshops are situated im mediately under Mr. Turrell's, was first apprised of the threat ened danger by a female inmate of the house of Mr. Arundale, a tobacconist, the back of whose premises are closely connected with the timber-yard and workshops of Mr. Turrell. Several policemen of the C division were near the spot at the time the alarm was given, and with great difficulty they forced an en trance, but to such an extent had the flames reached that they were compelled to retreat into the street. By this time Mr. Rose, the foreman of the London Fire Establishment in that district, with Fogo and Howell, two engineers, and between thirty and forty firemen, with four powerful engines, had ar rived, and by their well directed exertions, aided by a good supply of water, which was instantly obtained, the devouring element was arrested in its progress, but not until the work shops and tools belonging to Messrs. Turrell and Miller were entirely consumed, together with the upper part of Mr. Arun dale's house. How the fire originated is not accurately known, and, with the exception of Mr. Turrell, none of the parties who are sufferers by the catastrophe are insured. Several lodgers in Mr. Arundale's house are among the number. The conduct of the police force during the continuance of the fire was above all praise. The objections urged by many against Steel Pens is—that they fail of supplying the ink to the paper when writing in a hurry, and which obliges them to go over their writing twice. The evil is completely obviated by the new Patent Triple-pointed Pens (made by S. Mordan and Co., London), for, instead of the capillary action being lost, it is doubly produced by the third point, and ensures a certain supply of ink to the nib of the pen—of great importance in the writing of signatures to cheques, &c. &c. THE MARCH OF INTELLECT.—The Foreman of the Petty Jury, at the County Sessions, on Monday, assigned as his reason for finding Woor guilty, " that as the Grand Jury had found him guilty, what could they (the Petty Jury) do but find nim guitly too I ! !"—Nottingham Mercury. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JULY 6.—Our cotton market continues in a flat state, and the demand very limited. The business to-day is estimated at 2,000 bales of all kinds at prices similar to Monday, viz.,—viz., 100 Maran hams, 121-d. to ad.; 30 Bahias, 11-1(1.; 200 Cearas and Per nams, 12d. - 121 d. ; 100 Madras, 61d: to Bd.; remainder American, from 8 d. to 12d. for good Orleans. Thursday afternoon a young man who had been employed painting at the top of the house of Messrs. Garba nati and Co., the carvers and gliders in Southampton-street, Strand, overbalanced himself and fell from the parapet into the street. In his descent he came upon the leads over the shop window, and from thence bounded to the pavement. He was taken up in a state of insensibility, and without delay re moved to the Charing-cross Hospital. It is believed that none of his bones were broken, but his body was bruised in a shock ing manner, 1-I VDiIOPHOtIA,—A gentleman tidying seen in the public papers i _.an account of two bnyA baing been bitten by a mad dog in. Witidgdr krerk i•k6iiiy, has *eaten a Icitei% to the itione game and address of a person who is pos- Se:;;41 of a certain remedy for hydrophobia. Hitherto this dreadful . discase has baffled all the skill and ingenuity of the medical profession ; and should a certain remedy have been now discovered, its valuable properties cannot be too highly appreciated, nor too extensively known. The gentleman who has written to th e M a y or h as g i ven h i s name and address, and speaks positively of the successful application of the medicine in question to many persons, as well as to horses, cattle, and swine, and dogs,. which have been bitten by rabid animals. The inventor of the medicine, he states, is a person of the name of Cas9am, a saddler, in the of Groorttbridge, near Tunbridge Wells. He added, that a strong solution of the murlate of s o d a ( common ta bl e sa l t) applied to a wound inflicted by the bite of a mad dog, and continued for some time, may be highly beneficial in neutralising or changing the virus, so as to render it perfectly harmless; but that applica tion should be immediate, as absorption proceeds with great rapidity ; if, however, any interval occurs so as to render its good effects doubtful, then the aforesaid medicine may be relied on. COURAGE AND HUMANITY.—An instance of these noble and manly attributes was lately witnessed under circumstances of the most imminent peril. Captain Michael, an Englishman, in Count Walmoden's Regiment of Austrian Dragoons, quartered at Padua, seeing a female swept down the Adige, when that river was swollen to a most terrific height, sprung from his horse in the presence of his regiment and thousands of anxious spectators, and succeeded in bringing her safe to the shore. For this act of dauntless courage and humanity, Captain Michael received the thanks of his Colonel and the Mayor and Court of Padua. We believe Captain Michel is a native of Stamford, in Lincolnshire. HEREFORD.---On Monday night this city and vici nity were visited by a succession of thunder-storms, which commenced between twelve and one, and continued several hours; the lightning was extremely vivid, and the rain which fell was accompanied with hailstones so large, that at Garnons, the scat of Sir J. G. Cotterell, Bart., we understand nearly two-thirds of the glass in the hot-houses, &c., were broken by the icy ballets, which descended in large quantities, and re mained on the ground some time afterwards. LITERATURE, 7.ONDON AND WESTMINSTER REVIEW. No. VI. Atai•ditt ; Lbtiddii4 1810, There is considerable variety in this Ntimber; hilt it is not an intereStiiig for thotigh the articles are the iiitAt Part) they hre tiot of d popular nature, or treated in a popular manner. 'they arc dry and prosy, with the single exception of the notice of Sir John Walsh's " Chapters of Contempo rary History," which is both well written and well rea soned, and makes sad havoc with the Tory Baronet's pretensions to political perspicacity. The Reviewer observes— " If this writer had not been held up by the Tory critics as one of the great rising ornaments of their party, we should not have thrown away time and space upon a controversy in which we are neither called upon to say, nor to answer, any thing requiring thought, anything not absolutely t r it e . But the character of Toryism is better seen in Sir John Walsh and his class, than in men of some originality and power of mind. Nothing has given us a lower opinion of the Tories as a body, than to observe on what class of their advocates it is that their applause is lavished. Let the young and ambitious adventurer, who would rise by Toryism notwithstanding the disadvantage of a clear head, observe whether what we say is net true. The man whom they recognise as their champion is never he who gives to Toryism (what can be gi ven to i t, t h oug h not to Whiggism) something like a philosophic basis ; who finds for their opinions the soundest, the most ingenious, or the most moral arguments by which they can be supported ; but inva riably the man who, with greater fluency or a more daritig manner than ordinary, gets up and vents their most shattered and worn-out absurdities. There is another cause for this be sides the greater adaptation of the latter class of arguments to the general calibre of their understanding.. No one can make speculative Toryism a thing that will bear the light, without cutting off many of the most lucrative parts of practical To ryism. We never knew a Tory of any power of mind, who did not, either secretly or openly, give up the Irish Church. But the Tories in general deem this too high a price for a small improvement in their argument, and a great one in their character for honesty, Sir John Walsh for them. 'He throws his mantle over all. Even Irish Toryism is not too shocking a thing for him." , The Reviewer does not confine his strictures to Sir John Walsh and the Tories--he is nearly equally severe on the Whigs, denying them both influence and saga city as statesmen, and asserting that they are a " co terie, not a party." He is in fact a sturdy Radical, and this to so an inveterate an extent, that he can scarcely endure even to feel, or at least to express, gratitude to the Whigs for their inestimable public services in originating and carrying the Reform bill. Now this is the very bigotry of partizanship, and strikes at the root of all generous, manly feeling. The Whigs may not perhaps be all that we could desire them to be ; they may vacillate where they should be resolved ; and shrink from their enemies, where, backed as they are by the people, they should set them boldly at defiance : still it should never be forgotten, that to them it is owing that the democratic principle, which eventually will carry all before it, is placed on its pre sent high vantage ground. The Whigs, with many ble mishes, have many redeeming points, and when com pared with the Tories, are paragons of political excel lence. The Reviewer's character of the Radicals is drawn with a flattering, but just, pencil. He says that theirs is the rising party, destined, ere long, to wield the whole powers of the State. This is strictly true. There are no young Whigs, and scarcely one middle-aged ultra-Tory. All the more costive Con servatives, such as Lynhurst, Londonderry, Wynford, Newcastle, &c., have either fallen, or are fast falling, into the " sear, the yellow leaf;" while the more liberal ones betray occasional indications of a willingness to give in their adhesion to the spirit of the age. Ten years hence, Toryism will be extinct; Whiggism at the last gasp; and Radicalism in the full enjoyment of lusty manhood. " The White Man's Grave" is. a slight notice of a late work on the climate of Sierra Leone. It is agreeably written, though by no means remark able for the amount or novelty of its information. In the article on " Poor Laws in Ireland," the Reviewer strenuously advocates the adoption of the " principle of a poor law" for that country—adding, " we propose that every person in want should have a legal right to be admitted into a work-house, and be there main tained in a manner not superior to that of an indepen dent labourer when in employment ; and that the work-houses should be placed, as in England, under the controul of a Central Board, with Assistant Com missioners, the funds to be provided for by a national rate." The Review of Willis's Sketches" is entertain ing and anecdotical, and the extracts well culled. The remaining articles we have neither space nor time to comment on. MRS. ARMYTAGE ; OR, FEMALE DOMI NATION. BF THE AUTHORESS OF " MOTHERS AND DAUGHTERS. " In 3 Vols. Henry Colburn,London, 1836. This is one of the best, if not the very best, of Mrs. Charles Gore's novels. The style is good, the inci dents natural, and the moral excellent. The heroine is a widow lady in Yorkshire, the possessor of an im mense fortune, and the owner of a large estate. Sh e has two children—a son and a daughter; to whose education she devotes her widowhood. SL is herself just, upright, and severe ; and having been in youth accustomed to meet with nothing but submission to her will, she contracts a habit of disregarding the wills of others. Her unbending hauteur is the only draw back upon a character otherwise stainless as drifted snow, and this leads her to sacrifice the life of her daughter, and for some years the happiness of her son. We see from the commencement the rock upon which Mrs. Armytage is dootned to split ; but the incidents that intervene are not the less interesting and unex pected. This is a novel which many parents may read with advantage. The characters are well drawn—so well that we recognize them the instant we meet with them after the first introduction. HISTORY OF BRITISH QUADRUPEDS. Part I. Van Voorst, London, 1836. A very useful work, edited by T. Bell, Esq., Lec turer on Compartive Anatomy, at Guy's Hospital. The embellishments are numerous and skilfully en graved, and the letter-press full of condensed, practical information. RECOLLECTIONS OF AN ARTILLERY OFFICER. BY BENSON EARLE HILL. In 2 Vols. London, Bentley, 1836. Benson Earle Hill concludes the second volume of his " Recollections" with the following sentence : " Should my endeavours to amuse be encouraged by the public, I design devoting my leisure to a second series of Sketches from memory, which I trust would prove more lively than my first." We request Mr. Hill will make himself easy on the score of public favour, and write away as fast-as he is able. Should he live for fifty years to come, there would not pass a season in which a couple of volumes of his Sketches, provided they were only to equal these in live- liness, would not be as welcome as the first song of the cuckoo. The volumes before us, include scenes and adventures in Ireland, America, Flanders, and France —each of which is a sovereign specific against ennui and blue-devils. The author's head and heart are both in the right place, and, his fund of the most amusing anecdote in the world is to all appearance inexhaustible. One good thing told in the happiest. way possible is but the introduction to twenty other good things equally droll, and all given with as much freshness, vigour, and versatility of humorous descrip- tion, as the first. Mr. Hill is equally happy and equally at home in playing off the national pe culiarities and eccentricities of an Englishman, an Irishman, a Scotchrnan, a .Frenchman, an Ame rican, and a Creole. No man tells an amusing story better; and no writer, that we know of, has told sal Many amusing ones in so limited a com pass. Before making f_”e-traet or two, it may not be unnecessary to observe, that the vdiUti•F•T *re written :n f9riu of a piece of light helter-skelter autobidgfriphy, dthirieheitig With the Author's schoolboy reminiscences, and eXtendilig titief the gredia part of .a life spent in fietiVe military service. As We dailtioi c.,:0 wrong for extracts, we shall take the first the oftefs f•— " Bristol was garrisoned by several regiments tvf the lice, as well as by militia, the large depot for French prisoners, at `3tapletniti reqtririnir a considerable force. Amongst the officers now yttaftt , re'i s he - te was a Colonel Moore, a gentle man beloved by his men and respected by the inhabitants; his manners smacked of the ricAl &Mr' and his person ii'ould have been repossessing, but for an uneorttrote enlargement of his nasal organ. lie had, indeed, ' been to the promontory;' and I have little doubt but his goodly one' had ofteri been a subject of dispute between the drummer's and trumpete=r's wives' of his own time. " Now, it happened that one of our bankers VA; blessed with a proboscis of great capacity, about which he wig most dreadfully sensitive ; the least allusi on t o hi s B ar d o lphi an a p. pearance threw him into a consuming rage. Mr. was walking to his residence at Clifton. when in College Green he encountered Colonel Moore, whom he perceived to be gazing intently on the most prominent feature of his face : his brow began to lower, and he mended his pace, intending- to hasten past a man who seemed to be unaware of his own deformity, yet stared so rudely at his neighbour's. Mr. W-__ wits stopped by the Colonel, who, takitig off his hat, addressed him thus:— " Your name is W--. I believe, Sir ?' " It is,' was gruffly answered. " Mine is Moore ; and I wish to say a few words to you, on a very delicate subject.' " The banker was a man of known and extensive gallantry, and it is imagined that he supposed the Colonel's communica tion to have some reference to an affaire d'amour. " ' I am ready to hear any thing you may have to say, Sir.' " With some hesitation in his mariner, Colonel Moore com menced. " Mr. I have a very large nose--" " Off started the offended son of Plutus. " G— d—__ me, Sir !—what's your nose to me?' " I beseech your patience for a moment or two,' continued the Colonel; look at me, Sir—it is a remarkably large nose.' " Well, Sir, who denies it?' "' No one. But you, sir, have also a rather larger nose than usual—' " What the devil is the meaning of all this?—Do you mean to insult me, sir? You have mistaken your man. I beg to pass on—' " Stay but for an instant, sir, and I will convince you that no insult is intended : only let me beg you to admit that your nose is above the ordinary size, and I will proceed.' " ' And suppose it is, sir, is that any reason you should dare—' " I had hoped, sir, you would have received my commu nication with temper. It appears now only necessary for me to state the reason which induced me to take the liberty of addressing you. This snuff-box'—and he produced a massive gold one, of exquisite workmanship—' was presented to me by a dear friend, on the condition that, should I ever meet with a gentleman whose nose was, in the slightest degree, larger than my own, I was to surrender it instantly. But I find you are averse to any mention of the subject. Having stated the fact, I wish you a good morning.' And he re pocketed the box. " The eyes of Mr. \V-- had been riveted to the splendid tabatiire : he relaxed the severity of his features, and said with a smile, I am sure I ought to be very much obliged to you for affording me a chance of becoming proprietor of that valuable article ; but a difficulty presents itself as to who is to decide whether you or I are entitled to its possession : perhaps, my dear Colonel, you will say how that can be ar ranged.' . " Very easily, sir, if you will do me the honour of dining at the mess with me, bringing with you a friend as your ar biter; I will find one on my side, and to their decision► we will leave the matter.' " • I accept your offer ; pray, name your time.' " A day was fixed : the two nosologists sat opposite to each other at table. Mr. W almost repented having accepted the challenge, as his temper was put to a severe test during dinner, by the constant allusions made to the origin of his visit : and he was assured, on all hands, that he must win the price. As soon as the cloth was removed, the umpires ap pointed examined the proportions of the candidates, amidst roars of laughter from the officers assembled. After the length, breadth, and thickness of each nose had been carefully measured with compasses and written down by the judges, who deeply regretted that the features could not also be weighed, the Colonel was declared proprietor of the box, having ex celled his opponent by the size of a pimple !" In Ireland, our gallant humourist met with kindred spirits—thirsty souls, but right mirthful withal. Such innocent hoaxes as the following are admirably suited to the meridian of Athlone. We regret it is the only extract for which we can find room in the present crowded state of our columns : " One of the members of our small, but comfortable mess was the district paymaster, Captain Aldrich ; a gentleman of the respectable Suffolk family. He had acquired the brevet of Major amongst his friends, although the Army List did not confirm the step ; but, dear, good-natured Aldrich bore his elevation very condescendingly, and became so used to it, that to address him as Captain,' or Mr. Paymaster,' was not the readiest way of getting cash for a bill on England. " His Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, the kind and con vivial Duke of Richmond, had been pleased, during a visit to Waterford, to confer the honour, of knighthood on the pay master of that district. This intelligence sorely nettled my worthy friend ; and scarcely a day passed but complaints of his age and service having been overlooked, would escape him. " It occurred to a dear friend of mine that, if we managed matters cleverly, we could confer the wished-for dignity on the Major; and, after due deliberation, the necessary steps were taken, and a valuable confederate, holding office in Dub lin Castle, enlisted in our cause. " On a certain day, most of the members of the mess were invited to meet a large party of military and civilians at Be nown Castle. It was, of course, expedient to apprize Mr. Higgins, our kind host, that something uncommon was about to occur at his board. " The dinner was over, and the ladies on the point of retir• ing, when an artillery driver was seen galloping up the ave. nue, as though his mission was one of life and death. " ' The route is come for us,' said I. " Or perhaps for our regiment,' observed an officer of the 92d. " We shall soon know,' added Weaver, my co-mate in the affair. " The butler entered—all eyes were fixed on him ; he walked up to Major Aldrich, and gave him a large official looking letter, with a seal of enormous size. Aldrich glanced at the direction, looked somewhat astonished, opened the en velope, examined eagerly a parchment it contained, then, with a most complacent smile, put the packet in his pocket, and endeavoured to look unconcerned. " You are not going to leave us, Major?' said Mr. Higgin. " No, my dear Sir, I fancy not,' he replied, with a gentle tossing of the head and an ineffable look. " Is it from Sir James ?' demanded Weaver; meaning Sir James Affieck, who commanded the garrison. " ' No, no,' said Aldrich, with extreme dignity; it is a communication from Dublin, and concerns me only.' " The driver seemed determined no time should be lost,' observed Weaver. ' I never saw a devil come along at such a pace; he must have been told that he was employed on an affair of moment.' " ' All the acts of his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant— God bless him 1' piously ejaculated Aldrich, par parenthese, should be considered affairs of moment.' " Hallo, Major I what's in the wind now ? It was but yesterday I heard you abuse the Duke of Richmond for giving preference to Sir William Vachell.' " ' It is never too late to make amends; the Duke has done me the honour but why should I engross the attention of the company, an humble, undeservin g person like myself? I am ashamed, Madam ——' and he bent his head to our amiable hostess. " • Nay, nay,' interrupted Mr. Higgins, you know what a deserved favourite you are here, so pray let us hear if any good fortune has befallen you.' " Well, if I must—' said Aldrich, slqwly producing the important document. " Oh !do let us have the particulars. What is it ? Pray, read,' exclaimed twenty voices in a breath. " I feel so overpowered, my dear sir ;' said the Nlajdr, rising, and addressin g our host, that I must beg you to apprise my friends of the facts,' and he handed the letter to him. " ' God bless me !' said Mr. Higgins, in well-feigned asto nishment, as he looked at the parchment ; this is indeed un expected—but let me read. " Dublin Castle, August —, 1811. " ' Whereas, We, Charles, Duke of Richmond and Aubigny, K.G &c. &c., Lord Lieutenant and General Governor of all Ireland, having taken into mature consideration the long and value ble services of our trusty and well-beloved John Aldrich, Esq.., his Majesty's Paymaster for the district of Athlone, and when ...as that public affairs detain us in his Majesty's Castle at Dublin, We, the Lord Lieutenant, do, in this case, dis pense with the formalities usual on such occasions, and, by the advict of our Council, and on our own conviction of the ser vices of the said John Aldrich, Esq., do grant him this our especial warrant, entitling him to the rights, privileges, style, and title, of knighthood. And we further enact that his name be enrolled in the Record Office of the Castle of Dublin. " By command of his Excellency, " The Lord Lieutenant, Registrar, " Record Office. " ' To Sir John Aldrich, Knight, &c. &c. &c.' " A. general burst of congratulation followed the reading. The p recious document was handed round, the Castle seal was chilly affixed, but no one of the party was able to decipher the si / ;nature of the Registrar. This had been provided for, the planners of the Millir being too cautious to sign names, which might have involved them in disgrace or difficulty. The use of the official seal was going quite far enough. Sir John Aldrich's health' was drank with three times three ; the newly-created knight in vain attempted to return thanks; those in the secret enjoyed the joke, whilst the others believed the docUment genuine. Wine flowed fast ; the poor dear Major, from over-excitement, was not able to bear his 'blush ing honours ;' but, with a skin full of claret, he fell fast asleep in his chair, after muttering to himself Long life to the Lrrd Lieutenant—a fig for Sir William Vachell!' " It will be scarcely credited, yet I affirm as a fact, that the good sot!! Iport whom the trick had been played was utterly unconseinuA of tfie hoax ; he did not, 'tis true, live long enough to detect it ; for, very shortly after I left Athlone, he was gathered to his fathers, and during his last illness was so dell,sted to be hailed by his title, that it would have been cruel to unfleceive him, Peace to thy manes, dear, good natured, credu?ee Aldrich !"

This work which, considering the superior merit of its engravings, is singularly reasonable in price, forms an excelk.nt—indeed almost an indispensable---accom paniment to Murray's late admirable edition of " Bos well's Life of Johnson." The Number before us con sists of not less than six engravings, by far the nrost interesting of which is the portrait of that well-known mall of fashion—the idol of our great grandmothers— the Hon. Topham Beauclerk, who figures so conspi cuously in the pages, of Boswell, as the most accom plished member of the Literary Club. The counte nance of this gentleman, though far from handsome, bespeaks intelligence and vivacity. The portrait was painted by Harding, and is now in the poesession of Lord Holland. KING'S BENCH-(THIS DAY.) THE KING V. DUGDALE. Mr. Kti,Ly stated the case. It was an indictment preferred by the Society for the Suppression of Vice, against Williarm Dugdale, a booksel)cr, of Wych-street, Strand, for exposing for sale, and publishing, certain obscene and indecent works. He should prove by several witnesses the sale of the books in question, and it would be for the Jury to say whether they were works of an improper description, and if so they must find the defendant guilty. Andrew Collard, a person employed by the Society for the Suppression of Vice, purchased the books in question at the defendant's shop, in February, 1835. They were sold by the defendant's brother. William Green, a constable of Clerkenwell, also purchased a book at the defendant's shop. The defendant and his .brother were both in the shop at the time. Turner gave evidence to the same effect. The Collector of Taxes for the parish, proved that the de fendant had paid him the taxes for the house and premises in Wych-street. Mr. Haynes, receiver of the rents, deposed that thede - fendant was the tenant for the last eighteen months. The publications were then handed to the jury, for their proposal, and The defendant addressed the jury, and complained of the unfortunate position in which he was placed. If be admitted his identity, of which there was considerable doubt, he made himself responsible for the books—if he did not,. he lost all opportunity of vindicating himself from the charge. He hoped the jury would not believe the evidence of such men as Col lard, who was, on his own admission, the paid agent of an anonymous. Society, and whose character was such that his evi dence ought not to be received in a Court of Justice. He would call witnesses to prove that Collard had been himself in the habit of exposing indecent prints. Lord DENMAN said the defendant could not call witnesses to prove any particular facts of that sort. The defendant--As that line of defence had been denied him, he would only say that the book complained of vats to be found in the catalogue of every circulating library, and if an indictment was preferred for selling it, a person might as well be indicted for selling Shakspearels.works. Thomas James Carter—l have been for fourteen years con stable of Clerkenwell, and, from Collard's character, I would not believe him upon his oath. I am not now parish constable. John Ward—l live in Clerkenwell. I should not like to believe Collard upon his oath, from what I have seen and heard of him. I never heard him give evidence. Edward Reed—l certainly should not believe Collard upon his oath. I never heard him give evidence before this day. William Holmes—l am a bookseller, 48, Princes-street, Leicester-square. The book charged in the indictment has been frequently sold at auctions, and I should not consider it a dangerous one. Joh - n Fletcher Miller—l should not certainly think Collard worthy of belief upon his oath. lam a lithographic printer, and have known the defendant about twelve months. William Clarke—l would not believe Collard upon his oath. Reed and myself made a representation to Mr. Pritchard, of the Society for the Suppression of Nice, relative to Collard, that he was not worthy to hold his situation. Mr. KELLY replied, and Lord DENMAN summed up) re marking upon the evidence that had been brought forward to impeach Collard's testimony, which even if it had the effect of putting his evidence out of the case, did not invalidate in the slightest degree that of other witnesses, who had deposed to the same facts. The Jury immediately found the defendant guilty. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) POWELL V. BLACK. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who was lately sub-editor of the Merniny Chronicle newspaper, against the proprietors of that paper, to recover the sum of 1401., alleged by the plaintiff to be due to him for arrears of salary. The question turned upon the fact, as to whether the engagement of Mr. Powell was annual or not; and if annual, whether, having been dismissed before the year had expired, he was en titled to recover the arrears of his salary for the unexpired term—viz., thirteen weeks ? Mr. Erie, Mr. Crowder, and Mr. Banks, appeared for the plaintiff; and Mr. Sergeant Talfourd, Mr. M. D. Hill, and Mr. Bingham, for the defendants. There was a very full attendance in Court, of gentlemen connected with the preis, many of whom were examined. The plaintiff's case had not closed, when our Reporter left. By the private accounts from Liverpool, it appears that the fever of speculation in Joint Stock Companies in that town has materially abated, so as to lessen in a great degree the apprehension which was at first entertained for the conse quences. Out of about 40 schemes, great and small, 'pro jected in Liverpool alone, very few have come into actual operation. Among those are two Fish Companies, an Apo thecaries' Company, a Brewery, and a Steam-towing Com pany. Nearly all the others have either become extinct, or are said to he in such a state that there is no chance of going on with them. To carry on the few that survive only a small com parative amount of capital is required. The losses occasioned by the mania for speculation will now be confined, in a 'great measure, to the money paid as deposits on shares, or the premium to which on the first impulse they rose. That these have been very considerable in Liverpool is certain, and they have fallen chiefly on the middle classes, among whom the degree of suffering must be extreme. The superior class of merchants and capitalists have, for the most part, had the good sense to keep out of such speculations. The share market at Liverpool has fallen into a state of almost total stagnation. The banking speculations in Liverpool appeal', however, to be maintained in full vigour, and three new ones, the " Royal," the " Tradesmen's," and the " United Trades" banks have been brought recently into active operation. A pe culiar feature of these speculations has beer: the forma tion of Companies out of concerns previously carried on by private individuals. This has been the case with the bank of S. Hope and Co., which commenced business under the new form last_ week ; the bank o f M essrs . A sp i na ll an d S on h a s also been announced as about to assume the joint-stock form. This practice seems to have been borrowed from the West of England, where several instances of the kind have taken place; and it is pretty notorious that the parties have contrived to make .t very good market for their property out of the arrange.' ment. Of the state of things in Manchester we have not met with any detail equally full with that from Liverpool, but there is reason to believe that the situation of the two towns does not materially differ in that respect —Morning Paper. m ay he selected f rom o f var i ous ST S R E O T N S G OSIIL'ITIE'LRAETDEGD DISH COVERS, WITH ES, .
